    I have a couple of different rigs I use. For the Iris Nebula picture, here is what I used:

    - Meade LX200 ACF 10" Telescooe
    - Antares 0.63x focal reducer for SCTs
    - iOptron IEQ45 Pro Germal Equitorial Mount
    - ZWO ASI183MM Pro Cooled CMOS camera
    - Baader 1.25" filters (RGB)
    - ZWO 8-position 1.25" electronic filter wheel
    - ZWO Off-axis guider
    - ZWO ASI290MM Mini guide camera

    The gear setup is mostly the same on my widefield rig, except it's a Meade 6000 Series 80mm APO refractor telescope.
